I think this is getting reduced to 12 for next year - Inrng.com had an article on it i think. This should mean that domestiques can stop worrying and keep on domestiquing without worrying too much about their job security.

Riding over some pave, one of his bottles popped out of it's cage and got jammed in his rear wheel against the frame, locked up the wheel and took him down. Looked quite serious. Hope he's okay.

It seems stuff just really love to go wrong this Giro huh? Gesink didn't snapped his chain, it actually jumped off his chainring when he hit the cobbles. In 2013 I started to think if the groupsets are actually getting better or worse. I don't remember a year with so many mechanical problems...

Upon brief inxpection of the gnarly video it looks more like a fancy Tacx Deva Carbon. Oh well, Thomas. _________________ Bianchi-Campagnolo Last edited by Kjetil on Thu May 23, 2013 10:45 am, edited 1 time in total.

Seems like it could be enough to blow the peloton to bits again. Too late to answer , but as I said, the narrow roads on the way to that final climb helped to make everything a little more "spicy". Glad to see so many people along the roads which in some past stages were missing. _________________ ciclismo-espresso.com

Cancellara already complained about current bottles with threaded mouth that stay closed when a wheel goes over it, which makes lot of sense. Seems like proper bottle cages should be next. Extra lightness has its consequences. _________________ Happy Trails !!!
